SUMMARY:Skrontch Music\, a new work by Byron Asher
DESCRIPTION:Byron Asher and guests will perform “Skrontch Music”\, a new major piece of music for clarinet and large ensemble that explores and is in service to the New Orleanian Creole traditions of clarinet virtuosity and political radicalism\, created during Asher’s time in residence at A Studio in the Woods. His writing process was aided by deep research\, including an oral history project of collaborative design with his faculty partner\, Sharlene Sinegal DeCuir (Xavier\, History)\, which documents the experiences of the older generation of Creole and New Orleans musicians still performing today. \nAsher will be accompanied in this performance by Reagan Mitchell\, Ricardo Pascal\, Aurora Nealand\, Shaye Cohn\, Emily Frederickson\, Oscar Rossignoli\, Steve Glenn\, James Singleton\, and Paul Thibodeaux. The performance will be followed by a panel discussion. \nWednesday\, April 19\, 6:30pm\n2nd Floor Recital Hall\nBlanche M.

SUMMARY:Slave Trail of Tears: The Forgotten Journey of a Million
DESCRIPTION:A Studio in the Woods and the New Orleans Center for the Gulf (Nola Gulf South) welcome you to Slave Trail of Tears: The Forgotten Journey of a Million. Edward Ball tells the story of a migration twice as large as the wagon train journey that would carry half a million whites west\, a movement twenty times bigger than the Native American “Trail of Tears” that led into Oklahoma. During the fifty years before the Civil War\, close to one million people\, enslaved African Americans\, were pushed out of the Upper South and forced to journey to the Deep South to work the cotton and sugar plantations. On the “Slave Trail of Tears\,” people marched 1000 miles in chained “coffles” of 20 to 100 from the Chesapeake to Louisiana. Or\, they were herded onto ships that sailed from near Washington\, DC\, around Florida\, and up the Mississippi River to be sold in New Orleans. Ball asserts that the “Slave Trail of Tears\,” and not the African slave trade\, is the reason why most black people have roots in the Delta South. This is a migration that changed 500\,000 families\, populated the Southeast\, and reshaped America. \nThis lecture is the second public event in the inaugural Gulf South Writer in the Woods program\, a two-year study with Edward Ball. The Gulf South Writer in the Woods program is co-sponsored by A Studio in the Woods and the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South (Nola Gulf South) and includes a residency\, public lectures and a workshop exploring race\, family and place. \nEdward Ball was born in Savannah\, Georgia and raised in Louisiana\, South Carolina\, and Florida. He is an author who has written about the legacies of slavery in the Deep South. Edward’s book “Slaves in the Family” tells the story of his father’s family in South Carolina\, the Balls\, who were major slaveholders for 170 years\, as well as the stories of ten of the African American families the Balls once enslaved. Slaves in the Family won the National Book Award for nonfiction\, became a New York Times bestseller\, was featured on Oprah and is widely translated. Edward Ball lives in New Haven\, Connecticut\, where he taught for five years at Yale University. He is working on a book about New Orleans during the years after the Civil War. \nFor more information\, contact Regina Cairns at the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at 504-314-2854 or rcairns@tulane.edu and visit our website: tulane.edu/NOCGS.

Aubrey and Gretchen have been awarded one of five Adaptations Residencies at A Studio in the Woods this season. These residencies invite artists to examine how climate driven adaptations – large and small\, historic and contemporary\, cultural and scientific – are shaping our future. \nThis is a potluck\, we will provide the main dish but ask that everyone pitch in a little something – drinks\, salad\, appetizer\, dessert… \nPlease RSVP here by December 1st\, 2017 and let us know what you plan to bring. Click here for map and directions: MAP. Please note that parking is limited\, save on gas and carpool with a friend! \nAbout the work – While in residence\, Aubrey and Gretchen will work on their collaborative project\, Holding Space: Female Voices on Body\, Land and Healing in South Louisiana. The project is comprised of a short observational film exploring an array of healing practices and a contextualizing\, accompanying oral herstory book featuring over fifty regional collaborators and healers. The ensemble of female identified voices share wisdom\, while providing readers with tools and practices to engage in self healing in a time where body / spirit / land healing is crucial. Gathered voices speak to: ancestral connections\, trauma and retraumatization\, emotional health\, gender\, community\, environmental racism\, Louisiana herstory\, geological treasures\, land use\, coastal land loss\, climate change\, traditional knowledge\, herbal medicine\, feminine divine\, and magic. \nAbout the Artists – Aubrey Edwards and Gretchen Faust met in a Visual Anthropology class at the University of New Orleans in 2014 where they discovered their shared passion for the natural world\, participatory community documentation\, and creating space for female voice. Aubrey is a professional photographer and educator. Gretchen is an installation artist and student of herbal medicine. They are women\, and work in partnership with all forms of women. When not living and working in New Orleans\, they can be found in the wild. Holding Space is their first collaborative project.

SUMMARY:Crude Life Portable Museum: A Citizen Art and Science Investigation of Gulf of Mexico Biodiversity after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
DESCRIPTION:Join artist/biologist Dr. Brandon Ballengée for a pop-up exhibition and reception of Crude Life December 14\, 5:30 – 6:30 at the Tulane River and Coastal Center\, 1370 Port of New Orleans Place1370 Port of New Orleans Place (behind the Convention Center) organized by Studio in the Woods during the 2017 American Geophysical Union Meeting. Open to the public and free. \nCrude Life is an interdisciplinary art\, science and outreach project focused on gathering data on endemic fishes affected by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. This portable art- science museum of Gulf of Mexico regional biodiversity seeks to raise public awareness of local species\, ecosystems\, and regional environmental challenges through temporary “pop-up” exhibitions along community “citizen science” surveys of Gulf species. \n\n\nThe art-science museum’s “galleries” were created from repurposed sea chests/ steamer trunks retrofitted with handcrafted wood interiors for easy transport. As the museum travels\, the collaborators lead public and youth “Eco-Action” educational and research field trips\, to sample local fishes and other aquatic species while encouraging participants to make their own art about the discovered animals. Data on these species will be utilized for a scientific study and participant artworks will be included in the museum. The combination of the curiosity of a mobile museum\, interactivity of citizen science\, and one-on-one discussions occurring as a result of the project stimulates ongoing dialogues\, education\, data gathering\, and to create valuable lasting partnerships throughout the Gulf region. The scientific focus of the project seeks to find 14 missing species of endemic Gulf fishes that have not been found following the spill. With the help of Gulf residents\, we hope to find them! \n\n\n\nInvestigators: Dr. Brandon Ballengée (PI\, Louisiana State University) Dr. Prosanta Chakrabarty (Co-PI\, Louisiana State University) Sean Owen Miller (Co-PI\, University of Florida) Rachel Mayeri (Co-PI\, Harvey Mudd College)Collaborators: Dr. Suzanne Fredericq (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) Aurore Ballengée (Atelier de la Nature) Monique Michelle Verdin (My Louisiana Love) Dr. Benjamin Dubansky (University of Texas Denton) \nParticipants: Senator Norbert ‘Norby’ Nolty Chabert (Louisiana State Senate) Cherri Foytlin (Bold Louisiana) Josh Baumgardener (Haliburton) Dr. Edward Chesney (Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium/ LUMCON) Dr. Alexander Kolker (Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium/ LUMCON) Dr. Linda Hooper Bui (Louisiana State University) Blaise Daniel Pezold (Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry’s Coastal ReVegetation Project) Randon Dufrene (Tee Jug’s Shrimp Company) Bob Chateaulin (Private horticulturalist) Keith Broussard (Fish and Wildlife Manager of Cypremort State Park) Jonathan Foret (Executive Director South Louisiana Wetlands Discover Center) Members of the Pointe-Aux-Chenes Tribe + Students and residents of the Louisiana coast regions \nSupport Received: Interdisciplinary Projects Grant Award\, National Academies Keck Futures Initiative (NAKFI)\, a project of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering and Medicine\, Washington D.C.; Artspark Grant\, Acadiana Center for the Arts (ACA) and Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA)\, Lafayette\, LA.; and University of Florida\, Gainesville\, FL.

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with John Kleinschmidt
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to meet A Studio in the Woods’ newest resident artist\, John Kleinschmidt. John has been awarded one of five Adaptations Residencies at A Studio in the Woods this season. These residencies invite artists to examine how climate driven adaptations – large and small\, historic and contemporary\, cultural and scientific – are shaping our future. \nThis is a potluck\, we will provide the main dish but ask that everyone pitch in a little something – drinks\, salad\, appetizer\, dessert… \nPlease RSVP here by January 30th\, 2018 and let us know what you plan to bring. Click here for map and directions: MAP. Please note that parking is limited\, save on gas and carpool with a friend! \nAbout the Work – While in residence\, John will use drawing and installations to explore prehistoric and present-day environmental change and project what plants and animals might thrive in the distant future environment of New Orleans. John\, in collaboration with evolutionary biologists\, geologists\, and experts in ecological change\, will work with a group of elementary students to cut a cross-section through time on a site in New Orleans. John and the students will use drawing as a tool to explore New Orlean’s deep geological past\, observe its precarious condition today\, and speculate about its future environment. John will adapt student drawings into “design documents” for a site-specific installation revealing clues about imagined future plants and animals of New Orleans. John’s primary collaborator is Claire Anderson\, science teacher and co-director of Ripple Effect\, a non-profit working to build water literacy in New Orleans schools. \nAbout the Artist – John is an architect and artist in New Orleans\, Louisiana. By day\, he works at Waggonner & Ball Architecture/Environment on buildings and urban design projects focused on water management and adaptations to climate change. By night\, he draws\, makes prints\, and is a partner in Shallow Studio\, an art and architecture practice that works to uncover hidden stories in strange sites through interactive installations.

SUMMARY:Inheriting Whiteness: A Workshop about Ancestors and History
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South\, A Studio in the Woods\, and the New Orleans Public Library will host the workshop Inheriting Whiteness: A Workshop About Slavery\, Race Mixing\, and White Ancestors in Family History. \n*SPACE FOR THE WORKSHOP IS LIMITED. PLEASE APPLY TO BE CONSIDERED. \nDate: Saturday\, March 3\, 2018\nTime: 9am–12pm (workshop)\n12–1pm (lunch and conversation)\nLocation: New Orleans Public Library\, Algiers\n3014 Holiday Drive\, New Orleans 70131 \nDescription:\n\nInheriting Whiteness: A Workshop About Slavery\, Race Mixing\, and White Ancestors in Family History offers an opportunity to look at challenging facts of family and racial identity and to learn more about one’s own ancestry through research. People of African and European descent are welcome. In this three-hour genealogy workshop\, participants explore subjects like slaveholding or enslavement\, race mixing\, and the role of whiteness in family memory. In the first half of the workshop\, participants will be asked to share a brief family story that they have begun to research or wish to investigate. In response\, workshop leaders Edward Ball and Greg Osborn will offer guidance and research advice about archives and genealogical methods. During the workshop’s second half\, participants will discuss the promise and troubles that come with “difficult” stories of race in family history. After the workshop\, participants are invited to share lunch and further conversation. In the South\, monuments are coming down\, while nationally\, stories of race and memory compete for our attention. Inheriting Whiteness\, a workshop in genealogy\, offers to spread understanding through the shared project of storytelling in family history. \nThe workshop Inheriting Whiteness will be led by nationally-known author Edward Ball (Slaves in the Family) and by archivist and genealogist Greg Osborn of the New Orleans Public Library’s Louisiana Division. Inheriting Whiteness is sponsored by the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at Tulane University\, A Studio in the Woods\, A Program of Tulane University\, the New Orleans Public Library’s Louisiana Division/City Archives and Special Collections\, and the Algiers Regional Library. \nInheriting Whiteness is a workshop in two parts\, followed by lunch. \nPart 1 / Sharing Family Stories (90 min.)\nWhat is the “hard stuff” to investigate or talk about in your family history?\nPart 1 of the workshop is a story-sharing circle led by archivist and genealogist Greg Osborn of the New Orleans Public Library’s Louisiana Division. Each participant will be asked to share a brief (three-minute) family story that they are investigating. Perhaps it is about the role of slavery\, or the behavior of white ancestors\, or about mixed-race forebears in the family tree. Workshop leaders will offer feedback and guidance for further research in available archives. By sharing personal histories and by building common questions\, the circle of understanding about race and family memory grows. \nPart 2 / The Dialogue (90 min.)\nHow do some stories in the family tree stir emotions—such as those about race mixing\, or white supremacy\, or slavery and Jim Crow—and what is to be done with those stories? What is the meaning\, for us today\, of slaveholding or enslavement in the family past?\nIn Part 2\, author Edward Ball leads a conversation about themes and family histories that emerge during the Story Circle. Edward Ball and Greg Osborn together support a dialogue about the racial inheritance that whites and blacks share and seek ways to process it. The aim of the workshop is to help participants claim family stories that remain hidden or are purposefully forgotten. \nLunch\nFor those who wish to continue the discussion after the workshop\, a brown bag lunch will be offered. \nRegistration\nTo attend the workshop\, please submit an application by February 15th. To enable discussion\, the workshop will be held to 20 participants. Only those who complete an application may attend. \nApplication Link: https://goo.gl/forms/mcL26jdwBkzpEk3K2. \nA notice about attendance will go out by email on February 22nd. The workshop takes place on March 3rd. \nWorkshop Leaders \nEdward Ball — \nEdward Ball has published five books of history and other nonfiction\, including Slaves in the Family\, an account of his family’s 170-year history as slaveholders in South Carolina\, and The Inventor and the Tycoon\, a story of the birth of moving pictures.

SUMMARY:Life of a Klansman: A Lecture by Author Edward Ball
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South and A Studio in the Woods invite you to “Life of a Klansman” with Gulf South Writer in the Woods Edward Ball. \nWriter Edward Ball tells the story of a foot soldier in the race battles that erupted in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana during the period after the Civil War. This talk is one part history\, one part family memoir. \nThe Klansman of the tale was an ordinary man\, a French creole carpenter who fought with the White League (1874–75) and the Knights of the White Camellia (1869–72)\, two white supremacist militias in Louisiana in the post-Civil War years. He was also a member of Edward Ball’s own family. \nIn “Life of a Klansman\,” Ball explores the making of a single guerilla fighter who violently opposed the experiment in racial democracy introduced in Louisiana during Reconstruction (1865–77). Louisiana saw one of the first attempts at race equity in the South. How did it fail? And why did white supremacy take root instead? As racial violence returns to public view today\, Edward Ball explores the birth of tribal white identity through the eyes of his great-grandfather\, a man active in the founding generation of the Ku Klux Klan. Whiteness has a history that is hidden and intentionally forgotten. It is a story relevant to the living\, particularly now. \nThis lecture is the third public event in the inaugural Gulf South Writer in the Woods program\, a two-year study with Edward Ball. The Gulf South Writer in the Woods program is co-sponsored by A Studio in the Woods and the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South (Nola Gulf South ) and includes a residency\, public lectures and a workshop exploring race\, family and place. \nEdward Ball was born in Savannah\, Georgia and raised in Louisiana\, South Carolina\, and Florida. He is an author who has written about the legacies of slavery in the Deep South. Edward’s book “Slaves in the Family” tells the story of his father’s family in South Carolina\, the Balls\, who were major slaveholders for 170 years\, as well as the stories of ten of the African American families the Balls once enslaved. Slaves in the Family won the National Book Award for nonfiction\, became a New York Times bestseller\, was featured on Oprah and is widely translated. Edward Ball lives in New Haven\, Connecticut\, where he taught for five years at Yale University. He is working on a book about New Orleans during the years after the Civil War. \nThe lecture will take place at 7pm on Tuesday\, March 6 at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans\, 2903 Jefferson Ave. \n\nFor more information\, contact Regina Cairns at the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at 504-314-2854 or rcairns@tulane.edu and visit our website: tulane.edu/NOCGS.

SUMMARY:A Thing that Floats: Collaborative Design Charrette
DESCRIPTION:Join current Adaptations Resident Tia-Simone Gardner for ‘A Thing that Floats: Collaborative Design Charrette’. Participants in the charrette will collectively work on drawing designs and generate ideas for prototypes for small floating structures that can house cameras to capture images on the water. The goal is to think about the process of making images on a powerful moving body of water. This process includes thinking about the apparatus used to make those images and offers us an opportunity to collectively think about how we see and surveil the bodies of water that are a part of this city. The charrette will offer time to collaboratively think and talk about how\, if\, or when we perceive the bodies of water around us. Thursday\, March 22\, 6-8pm at the Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design\, 1725 Barronne Street.

SUMMARY:Fallen Fruit of New Orleans: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception for Fallen Fruit’s EMPIRE\, a new art installation on view at the Newcomb Art Museum. Friday\, April 13. 5:30pm – 9pm \nCelebrating the New Orleans Tricentennial\, EMPIRE is an art installation by Los Angeles-based artists Fallen Fruit\, David Allen Burns and Austin Young\, commissioned and presented by Newcomb Art Museum\, A Studio in the Woods\, and Pelican Bomb. Through this assembly of over 300 objects\, the artists will transform the entire museum into one immersive artwork. \nThe project uses objects culled from the diverse archives and collections across campus\, including art\, sound\, documents of record\, material culture\, and artifacts. It activates objects held by the Amistad Research Center\, Hogan Jazz Archive\, Latin American Library\, Louisiana Research Collection\, Middle American Research Institute\, Newcomb Art Museum\, Newcomb College Institute\, Royal D. Suttkus Fish Collection / Tulane University Biodiversity Research Institute\, and Southeastern Architectural Archive\, among other campus collections\, shifting the lexicon of historical meanings into one work of art. \nEMPIRE critically examines the principles of archives and anthropology to interrogate the ways histories are told\, remembered\, and revised. The immersive artwork considers the historical and contemporary effects that colonialism\, slavery\, trade\, and tourism have had on the movement of culture across and beyond borders to better understand the geographic and cultural position of New Orleans in relationship to Africa\, the Caribbean\, and Latin America. EMPIRE invites viewers to creatively interpret the displayed objects\, their connections\, and their juxtapositions to generate new meanings. \nEMPIRE at Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University is part of “Fallen Fruit of New Orleans” a suite of site-specific projects taking place throughout New Orleans from June 2017 through June 2018\, commissioned and presented by Newcomb Art Museum\, A Studio in the Woods\, and Pelican Bomb. “Fallen Fruit of New Orleans” was initiated by Pelican Bomb in 2015.

SUMMARY:Fruit Tree Park Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Join A Studio in the Woods\, Fallen Fruit\, Pelican Bomb\, and Newcomb Art Museum for a celebration of the recently planted fruit park at the Bayou Bienvenue Wetland Triangle in the Lower Ninth Ward. \nIn these divided times\, there’s one thing we can all agree on: fruit is delicious! Internationally acclaimed artists Fallen Fruit (David Burns and Austin Young) began their mission in 2004 to celebrate the endlessly giving resource of public fruit trees. They started by mapping the locations of fruit trees growing on or over public property in their neighborhood of Silver Lake in Los Angeles. Thirteen years later\, the duo has worked in over 30 cities using fruit trees\, public space\, and collective participation as artistic media to transform communities with sweetness\, leaving behind living sculptures that continue to give back. \nThis past winter\, Pelican Bomb\, A Studio in the Woods\, and Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University brought Fallen Fruit to New Orleans. The artists worked in partnership with The Lower 9th Ward Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development and the City of New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways to plant networks of publicly accessible fruit trees in two neighborhoods\, along the Bayou Bienvenue Wetland Triangle in the Lower 9th Ward and in Pontchartrain Park in Gentilly. Residents and community groups across the city joined in the fun\, planting trees in front of their homes\, churches\, and businesses to provide a much-needed resource—fresh\, healthy food—to their friends\, neighbors\, and anybody passing by! \nNow join us for a fun dedication and celebration of this brand new public fruit park!

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Manon Bellet
DESCRIPTION:Meet A Studio in the Woods’ newest resident artist\, Manon Bellet\, who has been awarded one of six Adaptations Residencies at A Studio in the Woods this season. Manon will present on her work to the group and then we will all share a meal. \nThis is a potluck\, we will provide the main dish but ask that everyone pitch in a little something – drinks\, salad\, appetizer\, dessert… \nManon Bellet is a French visual and olfactory artist who has lived and worked in New Orleans since 2016. Manon will extract scents from strategically chosen historic places in New Orleans and its surrounding regions which are destined to disappear soon due to ecological issues. This work aims to highlight the notions of being rooted and uprooted\, especially in Louisiana. The project intends to show the risks for people who remain attached to their land\, their territory\, their place. Through the experience of these scents the artist hopes to broaden awareness of environmentally vulnerable areas.
